PRACTICE COVERAGE

the Stetson Athletic Communications Office
if you are planning to attend a practice.

On June 3, 2013 Stetson Director of Athletics Jeff Altier announced Corey Williams as the 21st Hatters men’s basketball head coach in program history. Coach Williams went to work immediately after stepping foot on campus, hiring his
staff in just a few weeks, and bringing in four new recruits less than a month after that.
With an earlier start to the season – holding its first official practice on September 27 – the 2013-14 version of the
Stetson men’s basketball team has been hard at work preparing to build off of the team’s success from a year ago.
Having finished third in the Atlantic Sun Conference standings, earning a berth to the A-Sun Tournament for the first time
since in four years, and reaching the conference semifinals for the first time since 2005-06, last season was one of the
Hatters’ best in recent memory.
When Williams arrived on campus, however, there were only nine players on the Stetson roster, and only six of them
had seen time on the court as Hatters.
Seniors Aaron Graham, Willie Green, and Hunter Miller have all seen time in the starting lineup during their careers at
Stetson, giving the Hatters a healthy core of experience and leadership with a new coaching staff on board.
Graham is coming off of two productive years with the Hatters, recording two of the four best single-seasons for threepoint shooting in Stetson history. As a sophomore he knocked down 68 triples – the second most ever – and last year he
tallied 66 treys. With just 15 more makes from beyond the arc, Graham will become the all-time three-point leader in
Hatters history.
Miller stepped into the starting point guard role midway through last season, his first year of competition with the Hatters after transferring from Florida Gulf Coast, and he will see much of his time at the point again as a senior. With the
ability to control the game and score when needed to, Miller finished 2012-13 with 88 assists, 25 steals, and a 40.9
three-point percentage.
After leading the Hatters in rebounding a year ago, Green returns to the frontcourt ranked eighth in Stetson history with
80 career blocked shots in just two seasons. Last year the Orlando native had a breakout campaign, starting all 31
games while leading the team with 6.6 rebounds per game, shooting at 54.1 percent from the floor, and recording 41

Sikora, who sat out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, gives the Hatters size in the middle. The seven-footer also has experience from his time
at Oakland. In 2011-12 he played in 33 games, starting 16 contests and
averaging nearly 10 minutes per game at center.

After three seasons and 68 starts at point guard for Louisiana-Lafayette,
Raymone Andrews brings experience, leadership, and stellar defense to the
Stetson backcourt as a fifth-year senior. In 2011-12 Andrews averaged 6.3
points per game while shooting 72.9 percent from the free throw line and
recording a 1.7 assist-to-turnover ratio.

A trio of true freshmen guards will give the Hatters plenty of depth in the backcourt in 2013-14. Glenn Baral, who has
brought winning ways everywhere heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played, is a big shooting guard with a pure stroke. B.J. Glasford, who moves
upstate from Miami, is a smooth combo guard who can play the point or the two. Finally, Raekwon Harney is a true
point guard who averaged double digit assists and nearly five steals per game while leading Winston-Salem Prep to
two state championships.
Freshman Andrew Zelis is a 6-11 center who gives Stetson another big man to work with in the middle. Sophomore
Cameron Harvey was added late in the summer, and will redshirt after transferring from Eastern Illinois. Finally, sophomore Aidan Hadley was added as a walk-on just prior to the start of the season.

After home exhibitions against Tampa and Palm Beach Atlantic, Stetson begins the 2013-14 campaign at Clemson and
Notre Dame to open an eight-game road trip. The Hatters will host Davidson in the home opener on Nov. 30 and begin
Atlantic Sun Conference play on Dec. 30, hosting Lipscomb.

HISTORY & RECORDS

Kentwan Smith played in 28 games as a freshman at Louisiana-Lafayette before transferring to Otero Junior College in
Colorado. There he averaged 10.4 points and 5.2 rebounds while shooting 51.8 percent from the floor.

2012-13 REVIEW

Stetson brings eight new faces into the fold for the upcoming season, including a pair of upperclassmen who gained valuable experience at Louisiana-Lafayette.

Solanke and Pegg, who came in together as freshmen last season, will
provide plenty of depth to the Hatter frontcourt in their second seasons at
Stetson. Solanke brings plenty of energy, has the ability to block shots, and
can finish with authority. Pegg only played in two games last season before
missing the rest of the year due to injury, but the younger brother of former Hatter star Adam Pegg certainly showed signs of excellence in limited
action.

Plemmons showed signs that he can seriously shoot it as a freshman last
year. In limited minutes, the guard knocked down 11 three-pointers on 44.0
percent shooting from beyond the arc, and shot 46.7 percent overall during
his 20 games of action.

Stetson University Director of Athletics
Jeff Altier announced on June 3 the selection of Corey Williams as the new head coach of the Hatters men’s basketball
program.
Williams, the 21st head coach in program history, takes
the helm at Stetson after 13 years of collegiate coaching
experience. A native of Macon, Ga., Williams played point
guard at Oklahoma State. He had a lengthy career as a
professional player, including a stint with the Chicago Bulls
where he was a part of the 1993 NBA Championship Team,
before starting his coaching career.

“Corey is a winner, he has worked with and played for some
of the finest minds in the world of basketball and as such he
understands the discipline, commitment and strategy that is
needed to be successful. Everywhere Corey has played or
coached his teams have won and won big, and I am excited
to have him as a part of the Stetson team.”
“Corey has the perfect blend of coaching talent and
personal warmth that we were seeking,” Stetson University
President Dr. Wendy Libby said. “He will be a great and
winning head coach for Stetson University.”

“I’m excited,” Williams said of the opportunity. “Stetson is
a University that I played in the past when I was at Florida
State, and to be able to lead this program means an awful
lot to me and my family. I knew back when I first started
that my ambition was always to be a head coach. For Stetson University to give me this opportunity, I’m very grateful.
I’m humbled, I’m grateful, and the truth of the matter is that
I’m ready to go to work.”

Most recently, he was an assistant coach at Florida State.
His career with the Seminoles coincided with the team’s “winningest” five-year period, beginning in 2007-08. During this
time, the team won its first ACC Championship in basketball,
had a school-record run of four consecutive NCAA Tournament appearances, had four consecutive years of double
digit wins in ACC play, produced five NBA Draft picks, had
16 wins over nationally ranked teams and appeared in the
national rankings in four straight seasons.

“Stetson University is privileged to be able to call Corey
Williams our new men’s basketball head coach,” Altier said.

Williams was instrumental in Florida State’s run to the Sweet 16 of the 2011
NCAA Tournament as well as the 2012 ACC Championship. He helped lead
Oral Roberts to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances as a coach and
Oklahoma State to consecutive NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearances as
a player.

Williams also facilitated Florida State’s reputation as one of the nation’s top defensive teams. The Seminoles have
achieved national renown in multiple statistical categories. Williams’ defensive background helped Florida State finish the
2010 and 2011 seasons as the field goal percentage defense national statistical champions. The Seminoles ranked fifth
nationally in that category in 2012.

2012-13 REVIEW

With victories over fifth ranked Notre Dame and No. 20 Texas A&M in the
2011 NCAA Tournament, Williams helped the Seminoles advance to within
one win of the Elite Eight for only the third time in school history. The Seminoles’ wins over Notre Dame and Texas A&M marked only the second time in
school history that Florida State defeated ranked teams in consecutive games
during the NCAA Tournament.

Williams assisted in the development of the Seminoles into one of the best programs in the ACC
with the perseverance that has also made him an
outstanding recruiter of top talent. Williams’ recruiting roots have allowed him
to bring the nation’s top talent to wherever he has coached.

COACHING STAFF

basketball schools, particularly Florida Gulf
Coast University’s historic run in the NCAA tournament, coupled with Stetson’s much improved
season, elevated the stature of the Stetson coaching job,” Altier went on to say. “Consequently, we
received tremendous interest from outstanding
coaches across the country, whose experience
and credentials were far superior to those in any
coaching search I have been a part of at Stetson.”

20 or more wins in each of the last three seasons.
ORU made appearances in the NCAA Tournament
in each of his last two seasons in Tulsa. Oral Roberts
finished with a 23-11 record and won the Mid-Continent Conference Tournament championship in
2007. Among its 23 wins during the 2007 season

COREY WILLIAMS
scorer in school history with 1,320 career points. During
his collegiate playing career he helped lead the Cowboys to consecutive NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearances under Coach Eddie Sutton in 1991 and 1992.
The Cowboys were ranked 14th in the final Associated
Press poll of the 1991 season and 10th in the final
coaches’ poll following the 1992 season. With Williams
in Oklahoma State’s line-up for 128 games during his
four-year varsity career, the Cowboys ranked as one of
the top teams statistically in the nation.

In 1993, as a teammate of Michael Jordan, Williams
helped Chicago win its third straight NBA Championship.
He also played with the Minnesota Timberwolves during
his NBA career. Williams spent the majority of the 1994
season with the Oklahoma City Cavalry of the Continental Basketball Association. He returned to Oklahoma
State as a student assistant in 1994 and was a member of the Cowboys’ staff during their 1994 Final Four
season. Williams played and coached professionally in
Taiwan, from 1995-98.

“I think this school has a lot to give as it relates to the recruitment of young men. There are a lot of kids that are
really aspiring to get a quality education, and Stetson can give them that. I want to make sure we capitalize on that. We
want to bring talent that maybe hasn’t been seen at Stetson. It creates a great challenge for me, so I’m thrilled. I can’t tell
you how I feel inside. I’ve had my tearful moments with my family and close ones. I’m eager and anxious over the reality
of having my own program. I’m excited, thrilled, and fired up to get ready to go.”
Williams, 43, earned his bachelor’s degree in education from Oklahoma State in 2002. He and his wife, Nicole, have two
children: Jourdan (13) and Corey, Jr. (9).

at Stetson University. He is a tremendous person who has worked hard and
prepared himself throughout his career to be a head coach. He has been an
integral part of our success on the court and in the success of our players in

success as they begin this newest journey in their lives.”
- Leonard Hamilton, Florida State University

The Stetson men’s basketball team has
called the J. Ollie Edmunds Center home
since 1974, but the Hatters have been
anything but gracious hosts to their
opponents. For the past 39 years, the
Hatters have had just three losing seasons
at home and have won 65 percent of
their games, posting a 348-187 all-time
record.

SEASON PREVIEW

STETSON

Maintaining a top-notch athletic facility is a continual process, and the work at the Edmunds Center has been at a pace to
keep up with the development of the athletic program itself.

The Edmunds Center was home to the men’s 1991 and 1996 Trans America Athletic Conference Tournaments as well as the
women’s tournament in 1997. It also served as training camp site for the Orlando Magic of the National Basketball Association in 1992 and 1993, and hosted the NCAA Volleyball Tournament First Round in 1996.

2012-13 REVIEW

Over the years, the Edmunds Center has received a number of physical modifications and equipment upgrades. The scoreboards, shot clocks, bleachers, bench seating, illuminated media tables, floor design and lobby showcase have all recently
been upgraded. New chairs were purchased for the team bench areas in 1998. In 1999, NBA-style baskets were added.
In 2002, banners were hung in the Edmunds Center rafters for each member of the Stetson Basketball Hall of Fame. In
2005, new bleachers were installed in the east side of the arena.

MEET THE HATTERS

The Edmunds Center opened its doors on
Dec. 5, 1974, as Hatter fans witnessed
a 73-58 Stetson victory over Marshall.
Stetson went on to win the next game,
and the next, and the next. In fact, the
Hatters went a perfect 16-0 at home that
season, and they won their first 20 consecutive games played at the Edmunds
Center.

GLENN WILKES COURT
On December 2, 2004, Stetson University honored its legendary coach Dr. Glenn Wilkes by naming the floor at the
Edmunds Center “Glenn Wilkes Court.”
During a halftime ceremony of the Stetson-Mercer game, Wilkes was recognized with proclimations from Stetson University
and the city of DeLand, he received a watercolor created by
long-time university art professor Fred Messersmith, and was
repeatedly applauded by thousands of his loyal fans and
former athletes in the stands.
“It was quite an honor,” Wilkes said after the game. “I enjoyed seeing many of my former players, some that I hadn’t
seen in 25 or 30 years.”
During his 36-year coaching career which came entirely at
Stetson, Wilkes won over 550 games and completed 27
winning seasons.
For 36 years, Dr. Glenn Wilkes roamed the sidelines for

Stetson University, leading the Hatters to an unparalleled era of
success.

COACHING STAFF

Director of Athletics
17th Year
Stetson, ‘82

Jeff Altier, a 29-year veteran of the Stetson University athletic department, is in his 17th year as Director of Athletics.
During his tenure, Altier has earned a reputation as an outstanding fundraiser and a leader with an eye on the future, and
is noted for his active participation in the NCAA governance structure.
Along with President Libby, he was integral in bringing football back to Stetson for the first time since 1956. The Hatters
will play their first season in the fall of 2013. Coming with the return of football was the construction of a state-of-the-art
field house for not only football, but also men’s and women’s soccer and the brand new women’s lacrosse team. The $6.7
million, 25,000 square foot facility was completed in August of 2012.
Altier, captain of the nationally-ranked 1982 Hatter baseball team, earned both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees
from Stetson. Upon wrapping up his Stetson baseball career, he spent two years as a player/coach developing the sport
in Perth, Australia. He then returned to Stetson as an assistant coach before being promoted to Ticket Manager, Director
of Athletic Promotions, and then Associate Athletic Director. In these rolls, he spearheaded the department’s development
efforts as well as oversaw athletic marketing and promotions, concessions and travel coordination. He was named Director
of Athletics in 1996.
Altier also served as Tournament Manager for the NCAA Division I Southeast First and Second Round Men’s basketball tournament hosted by Stetson in 1993 and 1996 at the Orlando Arena, and as Tournament Director for the 1999 and 2004
tournament.
Stetson has taken great strides in the area of gender equity under Altier, increasing scholarships, participation opportunities
and staffing for women’s athletics. The unprecedented success of the women’s tennis, golf, soccer, basketball and softball
teams in conference competition during Altier’s tenure are evidence of his commitment to women’s athletics. In fact, under his
direction Stetson’s women’s and men’s teams have won an impressive 15 conference championships.
A hallmark of Altier’s professional career was the building of Stetson’s $4.5 million baseball facility, Melching Field at Conrad Park. Built in conjunction with the City of DeLand, Melching Field is regarded as one of the nation’s premiere college
baseball facilities. Altier then turned his attention to construction of an on-campus softball facility, which broke ground in
2002 and was ready for competition in February of 2003. The Patricia Wilson Field has been named Collegiate Softball
Field of the Year four times. He was also instrumental in securing new state-of-the-art field lighting for both the softball and
soccer fields in 2005. Under his guidance, the Athletic Department has seen the addition of the new Wilson Athletic Center,
a $ 1.5 million health and wellness facility for the use of Stetson student-athletes.
Stetson athletics has continued to grow under Altier’s guidance. Three new sports have been added in the last two years,
with sand volleyball starting competition in the spring of 2012, women’s lacrosse in the spring of 2013 and the return of
football in the fall of 2013. The program is also growing in terms of staffing and facilities, with the brand new Athletic
Training Center, which houses the football, lacrosse and soccer programs, along with practice fields for football and practice and game fields for soccer and lacrosse.
Altier’s leadership has extended beyond campus, as he has taken on Atlantic Sun Conference leadership roles, chairing
many committees and serving as conference vice-president. Additionally, he has served on the National Association of
College Directors of Athletics Division IAAA board of directors, the NCAA A.E.C. Cabinet and is currently a member of the
prestigious NCAA Leadership Council. Locally he has served as president of the DeLand Rotary Club, vice-president of the
DeLand Sports Redevelopment Association, and is a graduate of Leadership DeLand and Leadership Orlando. He is currently a member of the board of directors of the Central Florida Sports Commission. Altier was honored as the West Volusia Sportsperson of the Year for 2004. In 2011 Altier was recognized by his peers in the National Association of Collegiate
Director of Athletics as the Under Armour Southeast Region Division I Athletic Director of the Year.
Altier’s family includes wife, Sarah (Booker) (Stetson B.A. ‘82, M.Ed. ‘96), and children Heath (Stetson M.B.A. ‘09), Brianne,
and Garrett.

Down the street is the Mandy Stoll Tennis Center, home of the Stetson men’s

in an automobile accident in April 1988 during her junior year. During her three years as a member of the Stetson tennis team, she set
school records of 20 consecutive wins and 27 wins in one season. The facility includes six courts, with plans for six additional courts in
the future, a kiosk, three gazebos, courtside bleachers and a new scoreboard. Three of the six courts have been named: one for Mary Estella
Palmer McNamara, the late wife of SU trustee Dennis McNamara of
Orlando and a Stetson graduate; one in honor of former Stetson tennis
coach Vicky Pate, also a Stetson alumna; and one in memory of Mandy
Stoll. The Mandy Stoll Tennis Center has served as the host location for

One of the most picturesque, fan-friendly stadiums in the nation, Melching Field at Conrad Park will enter its 15th season as the home
of Stetson Baseball in 2013. At a cost of $4.5 million, Melching Field was the result of a joint effort between Stetson University, DeLand
Sports Redevelopment Association and the City of DeLand. Built on the same site as old Conrad Park, Melching Field opened on Feb.
12, 1999. Hatter fans have flocked to Melching Field in record numbers.
With more than half a million fans since the stadium opened in 1999, Stetson is often ranked nationally among college baseball attendance leaders.
Melching Field features permanent seating for 2,500 spectators with grass
berms holding approximately 500 additional fans. A full-service concessions area greets visitors upon their entrance to the park on Woodland

ATLANTIC SUN CONFERENCE
For 35 years, the Atlantic Sun Conference has supported its member institutions in providing intercollegiate athletics programs committed to Building Winners for Life. The A-Sun meets it mission
by maintaining the highest standards in academic and athletic achievement, creating a balance
between student and athlete. Adding an emphasis on sportsmanship in the competitive arena and
fostering leadership opportunities through community service, the A-Sun, its member institutions
and its student-athletes aim for an overall educational experience that is successful in Building
Winners for Life.
BUILDING
The student-athletes of the A-Sun consistently achieve academic accolades on a national level...
• As a whole, 64 percent of all student-athletes earned All-Academic status after achieving at least a 3.0 GPA last year. Each of the totals for Presidential Scholar (3.8+ GPA), Commissioner Scholar (3.6-3.79 GPA) and Conference Scholar (3.4-3.59 GPA)were above those
for 2011-12. The A-Sun recognized 1,500 student-athletes as All-Academic selections, a total also up from last year by 84.
• For the fourth consecutive year, the A-Sun had at least 90 percent of its teams earn the NSCAA Team Academic Award for posting a
team GPA of 3.0 or better.
• The Atlantic Sun Conference set a new high with seven teams receiving the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA) Team Academic Award for the 2011-12 season by their maintaining at least a 3.30 cumulative team grade-point average on a 4.0 scale or a 4.10
cumulative team GPA on a 5.0 scale. The A-Sun’s total ranks it in a tie for second among the 31 NCAA Division I conferences.
WINNERS
... while performing at a high level in the competitive arena ...
• The A-Sun placed a conference record of four women’s basketball teams in postseason play (Stetson - NCAA, FGCU - WNIT, Mercer
and Northern Kentucky - WBI).
• The Jacksonville women’s track and field team won a conference record seventh consecutive indoor and outdoor track and field titles.
• FGCU men’s basketball’s historic postseason run includes its first A-Sun title, becoming the first 15-seed to make the Sweet 16 of the
NCAA Tournament and the first A-Sun team to advance to the Sweet 16.
• Softball continued its pursuit of becoming a multi-bid sport in 2013 as the league posted the eighth-best RPI in the NCAA, its fifth
straight season being ranked in the top-12 and boasted seven top-100 teams including conference champion USC Upstate (41).
• Men’s Golf continues to grow into one of the conference’s strongest national sports. North Florida became the first A-Sun team to claim a
NCAA Regional title in Tallahassee, while Kennesaw State also returned to the NCAA Regionals for the third straight year. Representatives
of four schools also participated in NCAA Regional play in 2013. Additionally, North Florida’s appearance in the NCAA Championship
ups the A-Sun’s total to at least one team in the final round in nine of the last 10 years.
• The A-Sun conducted its inaugural season of women’s lacrosse, the second of three sports the A-Sun has added since 2011. Men’s
lacrosse begins its inaugural season in 2013-14. The A-Sun also became the first Division I conference to receive an automatic bid to the
AVCA Sand Volleyball National Championship.
FOR LIFE!
...and preparing themselves to become valuable members of their community .
• A total of 84 A-Sun teams met or exceeded the most recent four-year Division I APR of 974. While all exceeded the standard APR
multi-year average of 900, even when using the projected future APR multi-year standard of 930, 98 percent of the 155 A-Sun teams in
the 2011-12 measure posted above the average.
• The ninth annual Atlantic Sun Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) fundraising
competition raised more than $56,000 to benefit charities selected by the SAAC at each
of the 10 A-Sun institutions. The total shatters the previous high mark of 22,209.68, set just
last year.
• Six Atlantic Sun Conference member institutions were named to the 2012 President’s
Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, two with distinction. That number also
places the A-Sun among the top half of Division I conferences, as only 12 of 31 conferences had six or more schools recognized.
• The A-Sun has successfully placed 17 individuals on NCAA committees. The conference is
the only one in the nation to post Faculty Athletics Representatives on both the Leadership
and Legislative Councils.
• Since opening in 1997, Florida Gulf Coast University has amassed more than 1 million
service-learning hours and earned national recognition for its program.
